Pencil Drawing Sketch Ideas

Lassen Sie uns Ihre Kreativität mit Bleistift beweisen!

An essential component of any pencil artists materials is a good set of drawing pencils. These can be bought fairly cheaply in any artist materials shop and are a great investment as they will last for a long time when looked after properly. It is worth buying a high quality set of pencils as poor quality graphite can lead to problems creating consistent tones and even scratches in the paper.

The first thing you will want to do is get drawing pencils and paper. These can range from an everyday pencil and any paper you might have, to more technical drawing pencils and heavy duty or textured drawing paper. It will take some experimenting to discover what tools you prefer for your own style and drawing techniques as you learn to draw.

Professional type drawing pencils look just like a normal yellow pencil, but they are graded as to hardness and softness of the lead. You will want to find 2-3 different pencils, each with a slightly different hardness.

Firstly, consider the pencils themselves. In my experience, paying more for a pencil merely buys a better quality casing; the performance of the leads is pretty similar across the price range.

The important thing when buying graphite pencils is to have a range of different grades. "H" pencils have hard leads. "B" pencils have soft leads. The higher the H or B number, the harder or softer they are; so an H9 is very hard, and a B9 is very soft.
